PEOPLE GETTING ON TO UNCLE JOE Opposition ta Rooseveltian Measures Puts Him in Disfavor-

HIS INFLUENCE NATIONAL MANY CONGRESSMEN ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR SEATS ON PLEDGES TO OPPOSE SPEAKER DURING NET CONGRESS. Chicago, Ills., October 17. "The people are. getting on to Uncle Joe." This sums up the fight being made against Speaker Joseph G. Cannon not only In his own district, but in other congressional districts. For, all over the country, Republicans nominated for representatives have sought to strengthen themselves by announcing that if elected they will not vote for Cannon for speaker. It Is in his own district that the real battle is on. From his tour of speechmaking in aid- of the national ticket Cannon has been forced to hurry back to Illinois and make a desperate fight to save himself from defeat. Cannon is regarded as one of the most powerful of the reactionaries, is opposed by those who believe In Roosevelt's policies, by the church people and by labor. Oppose Roosevelt Policies. Cannon has never been In sympathy with the president, He has opposed all legislation looking toward the regulation of trusts. It was Cannon who prevented the passage of a law forbidding the shipment of liquor into prohibition communities. His attitude toward a delegation of Methodist preachers was so insulting that the Methodist General conference appointed a committee to defeat Cannon at the polls. This Is the most effective opposition now confronting Cannon. The labor men want to see him defeated because he has never done anything to aid them. More than ten of the Republican nominees for congressional seats from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Kansas have pledged their constituencies not to vote for Mr. Cannon for speaker of the next congress. They have been forced to do this by the public sentiment in their districts. Representative E. C. Ellis, of Kansas City, is the latest recruit to this roll. He was put in an embarrassing position. He is under obligations to Speaker Cannon, who appointed him to the important committee on rivers and harbors. This was one of the things that greatly aided Mr. Ellis in his reelection to the present congress. But la the face of his obligations, he has declared himself opposed to the re-election of Mr. Cannon as speaker. Republican nominees for congress from various nearby states have come here to Republican headquarters and told tHir friends that they did not want Cannon sent Into their districts to make speeches; that in the present state of public opinion his presence would do them more harm than good. Others have gone further and said that it would not be a bad idea to keep the speaker off the stump altogether in the upper valley states. Church Against Cannon. How hotly contested is the fight Mr. Cannon is making in his own district for re-election may be measured by the number and the prominence of the speakers who are being sent into it by the campaign committee. James S. Sherman, republican vice-presidential candidate; Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio, and Representative Wilson, of a Chicago district, were the prominent j speakers at a meeting in Danville, and they praised Mr. Cannon's services. While these speeches were being made in Mr. Cannon's home town, the speaker was being made the target of severe criticism at the annual Rock River conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, at the Woodlawn Park church in Chicago. The opening session of the 30O ministers was given over to a demonstration against the liquor traffic. The Rev. P. A. Baker, general superintendent of the anti-saloon league, waa the chief speaker. He was applauded when he referred to Mr. Cannon as the greatest barrier to moral advancement in the country, and again when he asserted that "from ocean to ocean the applause responded" when Cannon's record was attacked. Mr. Baker urged those in Mr. Cannon's district to vote against him in the coming election, and numerous cries of "we will!" came from the! audience. He followed one thrust ': quickly by adding: "I wish we had him in Ohio until election time. You must defeat him here." "We will!" shouted a man in the audience. Mr. Baker then related the story of the defeat of Representative Jen kins, of Wisconsin, and the fight on j the judiciary committee: "Wo have removed two out of four." be conclud ed. "We are hard on the track of the : other two. It will not do to send this man back to congress again, because he would fill up these places on the Judiciary committee with undesirables. But I suppose we ought not to take too much credit for Jenkins downfall. He simply swore at the ministers. That was enough." "So does Connon!" yelled another man in the audience. "But xCannon is a little more sly," replied the speaker. "He swears privately at the ministers, Sure; I can testify that he swears. What I am saying to you tonigbt I am going to say in Cannon's district tomorrow." More applause followed this statement, and the speaker continued: "You take any church body between the oceans, and you say something

about Cannon's record, and you get the same spontaneous response. Everywhere from ocean to ocean, there is a strong sentiment among the men that they should strike down this greatest barrier to moral advancement in the country "I see four or five with long faces in the audience. They look as if they had been to a funeral. They will attend one shortly Cannon's political funeral. We have dealt with many politicians lately in the Buckeye state. There is hardly a politician that isn't religious. And a good many more are attending church than used to." It should be pretty plain from this that "Cannonism" is an issue of the campaign in this part of the country-

FEAR THE JAPANESE Little Brown Men Are Pushing Their Way Eastward In Canada. A WARNING IS SOUNDED. Toronto, Can., Oct. 17 That Japanese labor is steadily gaining a foothold in Canada and working it3 way cast from the Pacific Coast is stated by W. J. Bowse, attorney general of British Columbia. In an interview he said: "Let XMery man who wishes Canada to remain an Anglo-Saxon country take warning. As I came over the mountains and prairies and reached your own province I saw gangs of men working on the railway east of Kenora and west of Port Arthur. I tell you they were composed entirely of Japanese. "Japanese Imigration is reaching across the continent. You will find the Japs marching into your factories, underselling ' your labor. You will find yourselves competing with brown men for a living and white labor thrown to the wall. "In our province we have a coast line totally unprotected for fully 700 miles. The white fishermen , were our protection. But now on the Fraser river the control has entirely gone from the white men. Not one in a hundred is white. You see how serious this i3. "Every boat puller was a brown man until we made it compulsory for them to be white. Now on the Fraser river white men fish salmon who did not fish before."

The KING of

By Louis t Autnor of "Wintfs of the IJtfht p COPYRIGHT. 1904. By (Continued From Friday.) mere was now uo need to write i Philip's bank for a fresh book, whit was bis first daring expedient. He seated himself at a table an wrote Philip's signature several time to test his hand. At last it was stead; Then he put a match to a fire all read, for lighting and burned I'hilip's bat collar, shirt and underclothing; alsi the blood stained towel. When the mass of clothing waa smol dering black and red he threw a fresh supply of coal on top of It. The losof the hat did not trouble him. He possessed one of the same shape and color. He was quietly smoking a cigar and practicing Philip's voice between the puffs when Mason returned with the valet. The scene, carefully rehearsed by firenier in all its details, passed ofl with gratifying success. Purring with satisfaction, the chief scoundrel of the pair left in the Grange House by the astonished servant began to overhaul the contents of Philip's bag. It held the ordinary outfit of a gen tleman wbt) does not expect to pay a protracted visit an evening dress suit, a light overcoat, a tweed suit and u small supply of boots and linen. A tiny dressing case fitted into a special receptacle, and on top of this reposed a folded document. Grenier opened it. Mason looked over his shoulder. It was headed: "Annual Report of the Mary Anson Home For Destitute Boys." Mason coarsely cursed both the home and its patron, but Grenier laughed pleasantly. "The very thing!" he cried. . "Look here!" And he pointed to an indorsement by the secretary: "For signature if approved of," VI will sign and return it, with a nice typewritten letter, tomorrow from York. Abingdon Is one of the governors. Oh, I will bamboozle them rarely!" "This blooming charity will help you a bit then?" "Nothing: better. Let us go out for a little stroll. Now, don't forget. Address me as 'Mr. Anson.' Get used to it even if we are alone, and it will be no harm should we happen to meet somebody." They went down the hill and entered the rough country road that wound up from Scarsdale to the cliff. Through the faint light of a summer's night they saw a man approaching. It was a policeman. "Absit omen," said Grenier softly. "What's that?" "Latin for a cop. You complained of my want of nerve. Watch me now." He halted the policeman and questioned him about the locality, the direction of the roads, the villages on the coast. He explained pleasantly that he was a Londoner and an otter stranger In these parts. "You are staying at the Grange House, sir?" said the man In his turn. "Yes. Come here today, In fact." "I saw you, sir. Is the gentleman who drove you from Scarsdale staying there too? I met you on the road, and he seemed to know me." Grenier silently anathematized his carelessness, rolicemen in rural York shire were not as common as policemen In Oxford street It was the same man whom he had encountered hours ago. "Oh, he is a doctor. Yes, he resides in the Grange House." "You won't find much room for a party there, sir," persisted the constable. "I don't remember the gentleman at all. What is his name?" "Dr. Williams. He is a genial sort of fellow nods to anybody. Take a cigar. Sorry I can't ask you to go up and have a drink, but there Is illness in the place." The policeman passed on. "Illness," he said, glancing at the gloomy outlines of the farm. "How many of 'em are in t' place, and who's yon dark lookin' chap, I wonder? My, but his face would stop a clock!" CHAPTER XIX. NEXT morning Mason trudged off to Scarsdale at an early hour. He ascertained that Green had quitted the Fox and Hounds Inn In time to catch the first train. He returned to Grange House with the dogcart and drove Grenier to Scarsdale with his luggage, consisting of Philip's portmanteau and his own. together with a hatbox. He touched his cap to Grenier when the latter smiled affably on him from the luxury of a first class carriage, and he pocketed a tip with a grin. A porter was also feed Lavishly, and the station master was urbanity itself as he explained the junctions and the time London would be reached. Left to himself, Mason handed over the dogcart to the hostler at the inn, paid for its hire and again walked to the deserted farm. He surveyed every inch of the grouna floor, carefully raking over the ashes in the grate, scrubbed the passages with a hard broom and water, packed some few personal belongings in a small bag and set out again, after locking the door securely, for a long tramp over the moor. Nine miles of mountain road would bring him to another line of railway. Thence he would book to London and travel straight through, arriving at the capital late at night and not making the slightest attempt to communicate with Grenier en ronte. There was little fear of comment or inquiry caused by the disappearance of the inhabitants of the Grange House. He and "Dr." Williams were the only residents even slightly known to the distant village. Such stores as they needed they had paid for. The mouse. was. hired tot a month, from aa

The agent kept It on his books until some one should claim it. As the murderer walked and smoked his reflections were not quite cheerful, now that he could cry "quits" with Philip Anson. His experiences of the previous night were not pleasant. Neither he nor Grenier went to bed. They dozed uneasily in chairs until daylight, and then they admitted that they bad committed Anson's body to the deep In a moment of unreasoning panic. He might be found, and even If he were not identified that confounded policeman might be moved to investigate the proceedings of the curious visitors to Grange House. That was the weak part of their armor, but Grenier refused to admit the flaw. "A naked man found in the sea and he may never be found has not necessarily been thrown from a balcony 300 feet above sea level. The notion Is grotesque. No constabulary brain could conceive It. And who is he? Not Philip Anson, rhillp Anson Is alive. Not Dr. Williams. Any Scarsdale man will say that- And your best friend, Mason, would not take him for yoa" But Mason was not satisfied. Better have buried the corpse on the lonely farm in the garden for choice. Then they would know where he was. The sea was too vague. Of pity for his victim he had not a jot Had Philip Anson pitied him or his wife or his two children? They, too, were dead iu all probability. While in London he had made every sort of inquiry, but always encountered a blank wall of negation. John and William Mason, even if they lived, did not know he was their father. They were lost to him utterly. Curse Philip Anson. Let him be forgotten anyway. Yet he contrived to think of him during the nine weary miles over the moor, during the log wait at the railway station and during the slow hours of the journey to London. On arriving at York, Grenier secced a palatial suit at the Station hotel, entering his name in the register as "Philip Anson." He drove to the postoffice and asked If there was any message for "Grenier." Yes. It read: Family still at Penzance. Persuaded friend that letter was only intended to create unpleasantness with uncle. lie took same view and returned to town. "Will say nothing. Unsigned, it came from a town near Beltham. Grenier was satisfied. He lit a cigarette with the message. At a branch postoffice he dispatched two telegrams. The first to Evelyn: Will remain In the north for a few days. Too busy to write today. Full letter tomorrow. Love. PHILIP. The second to Mr. Abingdon: Your message through Miss Atherley noted. Please suspend all inquiries. Affair quite unforeseen. Will explain ' by . letter. Address today, Station hotel, ' York. ANSON. i Then he entered a bank and asked , for the manager. I "My name may be known to you," he said to the official,. at the same time handing his card. "Mr. Anson, Park lane the Mr. Anson." "I suppose I can flatter myself with the definite article. I am staying here some few days and wish to carry out certain transactions requiring large sums of money. I will be glad to act through your bank, on special terms, of course, for opening a short account." "We will be delighted." "I will write a check now for 5,000, which kindly place to my credit aa soon as possible. Shall we say the day after tomorrow?" "That is quite possible. We will use all expedition." "Thank you. You understand, this Is merely a preliminary. I will need a much larger sum, but I will pay in my next check after hearing from London. I am not quite sure about the amount of my private balance at the moment." The bank manager assured him there would be no difficulty whatever under such conditions. Grenier obtained his pass book and check book after writing a check on London before the other man's eyes. For a small amount aa Introduction would have been necessary. In the case of Philip Anson, the millionaire, a man who handled thousands so readily, it was needless. Moreover, his procedure was unexceptionable strictly according to banking business. Grenfer rushed off to the station, caught a train for Leeds, went to the bank of a different company with different London agents and carried through the same maneuver. He returned to York and secured the services of the hotel typist. He -wrote to Philip's bankers: I am transacting some vpry important private business in the north of England and have opened temporary accounts with the bank in York and the bank in Leeds, and I shall need a considerable sum of ready monev. Possibly 1 may also open accounts in Bradford and Sheffield. Today I have drawn two checks for 5.000 each. Kindly let me know by return the current balance to my credit as I dislike overdrafts and would prefer to realize some securities.

Oias. E plaYiatlon-' until we meet. I hare sirnea the Inclosed annual report of the home Will you kindly forward It to the secretary? Yours sincerely, PHILIP ANSON. Grenier dictated this epistle from a carefully composed coy. lie understood the very friendly relations that existed between Philip and his chief agent, and he thought that in adopting a semiapologetic, frankly reticent tone he was striking the rigi t key. The concluding reference to the Mary Anson Home was smart, he imagined, 'while the main body of the letter dealt in safe generalities. Naturally, he knew nothing of the conversation between the two men on this very topic a couple of months earlier. But Langdon's ample confessions bad clearly revealed Philip's attitude, and the unscrupulous scoundrel was willing now to dare all in his attempt to gain a fortune.
